   1 ## Svn2svn
   2
   3 `svn2svn` is a utility for replicating the revision history from a source path
   4 in a source SVN repository to a target path in a target SVN repository. In other
   5 words, it "replays the history" of a given SVN folder into a new SVN repository.
   6
   7 This can be useful to create filtered version of a source SVN repository. For example,
   8 say that you have a huge Subversion repository with a _lot_ of old branch history
   9 which is taking up a lot of disk-space and not serving a lot of purpose going forward.
  10 You can this utility to replay/filter just the "/trunk" SVN history into a new history,
  11 so that things like "svn log" and "svn blame" will still show the (logically) correct
  12 history, even though we end-up generating new commits and hence have new commit dates.
  13
  14 The original commit-date will be appended to the original commit message.
